Chapter 2: Who Are You?

1. What matters most in your life?
      My family, my health, contentment, . . . . . . . . .
      Hmmmm, good question. I'll have to think about it.

2. What do you think is the meaning or purpose of life?
      The universe is an explosion of self-expression and desire. The purpose of life is to experience and to express - to dance.

That is the basic underlying purpose that we share with the universe in general. That's what living in the moment is all about. That's when the universe is allowed to flow through us. That's the one time that we are one with the universe and can experience that underlying meaning.

But, a specific life is a lot more complicated than that - and a lot more individual. There's not one purpose that all people share (other than the above).

Each of us has our own purpose. For some, it's obvious and easy. For some, it takes a lot of time and soul-searching to discover.

It could be as simple (and complicated) as to learn how to live.

3. Who are you?

4. What are the three most important things you've learned about life so far?
5. Do you think it pays to be a "good person," someone who is kind and fair? Why?

6. How can you know your higher destiny?

7. How happy or fulfilled are you at this time in your life?
8. What do you consider to be the difference between religion and spirituality?


To know what we do not know is the beginning of wisdom.
Just behind the visible world is a whole other world in which it all works differently.
Freedom is emptying the mind of experience.
In the book of life's questions, the answers are not in the back.
